Sharing news & info from our awesome PTA!
Establishing a culture of CommYOUnity and Support at Ethridge Elementary
I would like to encourage you, as your Principal, to show your support of all that our PTA does for our students and our school by joining PTA now and becoming part of the growing culture at Ethridge that puts the P back into the PTA!
Yes, we are all busy, so not everyone can volunteer. But we can all join in support of our kids! Why do some schools have such high participation/membership? Because it is their culture---to be supportive and if possible, directly involved. That is the movement we have started this year-----our ship has launch and we want EVERYBODY ON BOARD! It's not too late! Click this link and join today! http://www.joinpta.org
